For a person who has been blue, a small jar with 365 bits of paper on which I have written the great things about them, happy memories and why I love them. They can then have one message a day for the year to keep building their self-esteem and reminding them why they are great 🙂 It’s a cheap gift, easy to make and is unique to the person. So yay!
That’s a beautiful, thoughtful, personalised gift 😊 My friend organised something similar for my 30th. She got all my friends to write me notes and gave them to me on little scrolls in a jar. I was so touched and admiring of the thought and effort. I still haven’t read them all though, because I’d felt so self-indulgent!
My primary gift is what I always try to give: my listening, my interest in what’s important to the people I care about, my acceptance of their imperfections, my genuine feelings of warmth and love that translate to cuddles, smiles and appreciation of people.
My secondary gift this year will be letters to the people I care about letting them know what I appreciate about who they are.
Like, I’ll write letters to people, or this year I’m going to get people’s favorite quote/verse and wood burn them into plaques. Something personal and heartfelt.
Time – I’m fortunate enough to have almost a month off to spend with my family. If we’re talking material goods: definitely something handmade. I’m a knitter … there are a lot of scarves and shawls and hats in the works.
The best gift that I personally can make are handwritten letters! I have given letters as gifts several times (especially to my husband) and they are always a hit.
Maybe a great content for people to become more humane. Because that’s what I can do best

It most certainly has to be something heartfelt and maybe even homemade. I mean, it does depend on who is the recipient, but something from the heart.
